The present disclosure relates to a peripheral accessory of a mobile device, in particular to a mobile device protective case set and a main frame and an assembling component thereof.
As modern people use mobile devices more frequently, in order to avoid damage or malfunction of mobile devices caused by accidental drops, the market has been flooded with protective cases for common mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets, smart watches or wireless charging cases for earphones.
For example, a traditional protective set includes a main frame, a decorative strip and a backplate; an inner circular surface of the main frame is provided with a circular positioning portion for users to choose the circumferential edge of the decorative strip or the backplate to combine and position on the circular positioning portion according to their needs. In this way, when the mobile device is assembled into the protective set, the back side of the mobile device will be stably against the decorative strip or the backplate, and there will be no loose combination between the mobile device and the protective set.
However, since the back side of the mobile device abuts against the decorative strip or the backplate, the mobile device will not be able to be stably assembled in the main frame when the user does not mount the decorative strip or the backplate, and there will be a feeling of shaking and even the risk of coming out of the main frame.
In view of the above shortcoming, the inventor felt that the prior art is not perfect, so he devoted himself to careful research to overcome it, and developed a mobile device protective case set, including a main frame and an assembling component, whether the main frame is assembled with the assembling component or not, both situations can be used for a mobile device to be assembled stably without shaking.

Among them, taking a non-folding upright mobile phone as an example, the mobile device usually has a display screen, a side edge and a back side. The display screen is opposite to the back side, and the side edge can be connected between the display screen and the back side. When the mobile device protective case set is assembled on the mobile device, the main frame 1 can surround and clad the side edge of the mobile device. The present disclosure may optionally define a direction orthogonal to a plane of the display screen as a Z direction, and a place where the display screen is located is faces toward a forward direction, and a place where the back side is located faces toward a backward direction. When the user faces the mobile device and operates the touch screen, the left and right directions are defined as a X direction and the up and down directions are defined as a Y direction according to the direction when the user operates the touch screen.

In addition, the back flange 14 has a device abutting surface 141 facing forward, which is suitable for the back side of the mobile device E to abut (as shown in
In the present embodiment, when using a mobile device protective case set, the user may first assemble and combine the assembling component 2 to the main frame 1, and utilize the corresponding clamping portion 22 and the positioning portion 15 to make the assembling component 2 stably assembled in the main frame 1. The mobile device E is then assembled into the space S through the front flange 13, so that the device abutting surface 141 (as shown in
Alternatively, the user may not assemble the assembling component 2, but directly assemble the mobile device E into the space S through the front flange 13. In this way, even if the clamping portion 22 of the assembling component 2 is missing, the back side of the mobile device E can still abut against the device abutting surface 141 of the back flange 14, and the same shaking is not generated in the space S, and can be blocked by the back flange 14, so as to ensure that the mobile device E cannot come out of the back side of the main frame 1.
Therefore, when using the mobile device protective case set in the present embodiment, whether the main frame 1 is assembled with the assembling component 2 or not, the mobile device E can be stably assembled, and the mobile device E is not easy to shake in the main frame 1, so the user can choose whether to assemble the assembling component 2 according to the demand, so as to meet different protection or modeling matching requirements. In addition, in the case of damage or loss of the assembling component 2, the user can still use the main frame 1 alone to provide protection effect for the mobile device E, without replacing the main frame 1 that is still functionally good, which can reduce unnecessary waste of resources.
It is worth noting that the present disclosure does not limit the form of the assembling component 2. For example, the assembling component 2 of the present embodiment may be a backplate, so the base portion 21 can be in the form of a plate, and after the assembling component 2 is connected to the main frame 1, the base portion 21 can shade all or part of a back opening of the main frame 1, that is, the base portion 21 can block the back side of the mobile device E and protect the back side of the mobile device E from being damaged. In other embodiments, the assembling component 2 may also be a structure similar to the traditional decorative strip, whereby, whether the main frame 1 is assembled with the assembling component 2 or not, the back side of the mobile device E can have a larger part of the exposed area, so that the assembling component 2 can be matched with the main frame 1 to produce more diverse decorative effects.
